Huge, flat-topped flower clusters create a dome of bright yellow color over the large attractive gray-green leaves of 'Little Rascal' Buckwheat (Eriogonum allenii). Blooming throughout the summer and into fall, it is highly attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. This low-care buckwheat is more moisture tolerant than most and can be grown across much of the US when planted in full sun and well drained soils.

Description

(16" tall x 16" wide)'Little Rascal' Buckwheat (Eriogonum allenii) is a stunning addition to the xeric landscape with its dome of bright yellow flower clusters that cover the compact growing plant throughout the summer months. Flowers age to a bronze-orange color. Eriogonum allenii is a rare native species from the mountain of Virginia and West Virginia, also known as Shale Barrens Buckwheat; the breeders from Jelitto Seed in Germany have created a superb cultivar. It can be grown across most of the US because it is more moisture tolerant than western species. Suitable for dry slopes, shallow soils, rock gardens, xeriscape, roof gardens, dry flower beds, and large containers. Recommended companion plants include Bouteloua 'Blonde Ambition' (Blue Grama Grass), Asclepias tuberosa (Orange Butterfly Weed) and Amorpha canescens (Leadplant).
